Abstract

THE brain has been employed in this laboratory as a site for the transplantation of malignant cells from tissue culture to rat1, and such transplantations are proving useful for both oncological and virological investigations. On the assumption that this procedure may also provide a new approach for the study of the nature and mechanism of alterations occurring in cells grown in vitro it was decided to apply the procedure to normal monkey cells grown in tissue culture.
